I had been photographing otters all day. When we arrived at my friends father's home I got out of the car and saw this tree. The light was fading and I had my 400mm lens on my camera. I grabbed it and took this photo. Then I switched to a wider lens and took another couple of shots before the light was too low to shoot. I liked this one the best and it's the only shot I have on that lens.

It was an overcast day, raining and we sat there and waited for this bird to take off. After about an hour he started moving around and then BAM he took off. If I hadn't panned with him I would have never got this shot. I like that his wings are blurry but his head is sharp. One of my favorite shots. Maybe because it made standing in the rain for an hour worth it.

I was very lucky to be invited to spend some time in the cage with the Lemurs. Hint: Take a gallon bag of grapes with you! They are amazing animals, very expressive, so soft and did I mention they like grapes?

This shows just how individual their personalities are. The lemur in the background just ate too many grapes, while the guy looking at the camera/bag of grapes wants more. You might want to check out your buddy first.
